(rac)-(6-chloro-imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazin-3-yl)-quinolin-6-yl-methanol (Stage 1.1, 80 mg, 0.257 mmol) and KF (30 mg, 0.515 mmol) were suspended in NMP (2 mL). Isobutylamine (129 μL, 1.287 mmol) was then added and the RM was stirred at 160° C. for 7 h. The mixture was diluted with TBME and washed with water (3×). The aqueous layer was then extracted with TBME (3×). The combined layers were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (Flashmaster) to afford the title compound as a yellow foam (tR 4.11 min (conditions 4), MH+=348.0, 1H-NMR in DMSO-d6: 8.86 (m, 1H); 8.32 (m, 1H); 8.02 (m, 1H); 7.94 (d, 1H); 7.80 (m, 1H); 7.61 (d, 1H); 7.51 (dd, 1H); 7.31 (s, 1H); 6.88 (t, 1Ht); 6.61 (d, 1H); 6.24 (m, 1H); 6.12 (d, 1H); 2.98 (m, 2H); 1.82 (m, 1H); 0.86 (m, 6H)).
